So our only aim is to spread this Kṛṣṇa consciousness, spiritual life, all over the world. We have got more than a hundred temples all over the world, but we wanted one also in Bombay. Therefore we took this land. It was not meant for making any business. Even if we had this land after paying so much money, we are not going to make any profit out of it. The money will be blocked. But if we want to have it, it is for the reason that the people of Bombay may take interest in Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, so that their life may become successful.
